Ruby Gregory pulled down her collar a little, looking into the car mirror, she saw the bite mark left by Steve Burton on her neck, now discolored to a blue-purple hue. She gently pressed her fingers against it, feeling a sharp pain.

Startled, Ruby withdrew her hand, then thought about how her parents’ eyes lit up with excitement and happiness when they found out that she and Steve were going to Red Park tonight.

At that time, her dad couldn’t stop grinning, telling her mom, “I knew it, our Ruby is so beautiful, and she has so many years of affection with Steve. There’s no way he doesn’t have a place for her in his heart.”

If she went back home now, they’d probably be disappointed and heartbroken again, wouldn’t they?

Given Steve’s reaction, she probably wouldn’t be able to work at Pristine’s Enterprises tomorrow. She just didn’t know whether she would get pregnant after last night.

If she were pregnant, she’d still have a glimmer of hope. If not, what would she

Ruby sighed softly, driving her car leisurely into the city.

It wasn’t until 7 in the morning that Ruby drove towards her home.

The road to the West Suburb wasn’t congested in the early morning, so it only took Ruby half an hour to get back.

Before getting out of the car, Ruby looked in the mirror and forced a smile on her face. She then took a deep breath, opened the car door, and went inside.

Maxwell Gregory and his wife were eating breakfast at the table. When they saw Ruby returning, they both put down their chopsticks, and Ruby’s mom immediately rushed over to her, taking her hand and asking as they walked towards the table, “Ruby, was Steve nice to you yesterday?”

“Yes,” Ruby replied briefly, sitting down at the table. Seeing the nutritious breakfast spread out before her, she had no appetite, but fearing her parents would notice something amiss, she reluctantly picked up a spoon and had some porridge.contemporary romance

Maxwell saw Ruby eating and joined her, then asked after a while, “Ruby, has Steve said when you can start working at Pristine’s Enterprises?”

Ruby’s movements paused slightly at Maxwell’s question.

She might not be able to enter Pristine’s at all. How was she going to break the news to her parents?

Would she have to once again see them wear the same downcast expressions they had three years ago?

Ruby bowed her head even lower.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly turned stagnant.

Maxwell and his wife exchanged glances, and then Maxwell, with a grave face, asked, “Ruby, are you hiding something from us?”

Perhaps she could hide other things, but Ruby knew that not being able to work at Pristine’s Enterprises was something she couldn’t conceal..
